Sunday reflection . . . . I just helped him cry.

Would that we were all this wise.

There was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife.
Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman’s yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there.
When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said,
“Nothing, I just helped him cry.”

Post Graduation Math Lesson

Things didn’t add up.

When she finally did the math,

she realized someone

had done a number on her –

 a costly lesson, painfully learned.

Forever Thus

Broken limbs, fallen

trees – lying in the midst of

Spring’s budding promise

                                                                JDG

A boy is Truth with dirt on its face,

Boys are found everywhere – on top of, underneath, inside of, climbing on,
swinging from, running around or jumping to. Mothers love them, little girls
hate them, older sisters and brothers tolerate them, adults ignore them and
Heaven protects them. A boy is Truth with dirt on its face, Beauty with a cut
on its finger, Wisdom with bubble gum in its hair and the Hope of the future
with a frog in its pocket.
